1. We should fight for Peace

    50

    When wars and conflicts totally cease, 
    In our world, there shall be peace. 
    People must learn to get along, 
    Not blame others, for being wrong.

    They fight for control, fight for land, 
    Some just need a helping hand. 
    We must rid ourselves of vanity, 
    And embrace peace, through humanity.

    Wars make children so much tougher, 
    Lose their innocence, while they suffer. 
    We should fight for peace instead, 
    Love not war, we should spread.

  2. I Follow My Dreams

    78

    I get laughed at, 
    I get ignored,
    I often feel trapped, 
    and keep my thoughts stored,
    people can be cruel and very mean, 
    but no matter what, 
    I follow my dreams

    life has waves, 
    I know that, 
    but i stand brave, 
    and take the crap,
    I may feel exhausted and totally creamed,
    but no matter what, 
    I follow my dreams

    I know what I want, 
    and I wont stop trying
    Quitting? I can't,
    for now I'm flying,
    it's impossible it seems, 
    but no matter what, 
    I follow my dreams!

  3. You Have To Stay Strong

    37

     
    Have you ever felt like all hope is lost?
    Being so desperate,
    No matter the cost?
    Then listen now,
    To what I have to say,
    It'll give you hope,
    And might change your life today.
    Look back and remember,
    All the good memories forever.
    Think about the people you care,
    And the happy moments that you've shared.
    You have to stay strong,
    And give life another chance,
    Know that your needed,
    It could be your only defense.
    Always remember that,
    When things go wrong,
     It's not the end of the world,
    You have to stay strong.

    Would you eat meat from a horse
    if it was offered at your favorite restaurant?

  5. Kind words make the sun shine on a cloudy day

    315

     
    Kind words are like a honey,
    You don’t have to buy them with money,
    You just say them one by one
    And the job is done.
    Kind words are really great,
    It is good to say them to your mate
    Even if it is too late.
    If you break up with someone,
    You just say a kind word, only one
    And then you have more fun.
    Kind words are the best medicine
    And treatment for the heart,
    You don’t need to buy them at the pharmacy,
    It is so easy to say them, it’s never hard
    Kind words are magic,
    If someone is sad,
    You only say one or two
    And at once they will be glad.

  6. I Love Me

    134

    I took myself out on a date
    and said I'm looking grand,
    and when I got my courage up
    I asked to hold my hand.
    I took me to a restaurant
    and then a movie show.
    I put my arm around me
    in the most secluded row.
    I whispered sweetly in my ear
    of happiness and bliss,
    and then I almost slapped me
    when I tried to steal a kiss.
    Then afterwards I walked me home
    and since I'm so polite
    I thanked me for a perfect date
    and wished myself goodnight.
    There's just one little problem
    and it kind of hurts my pride.
    Myself would not invite me in
    so now I'm locked outside!

  7. You Really Can't Buy Happiness

    155

    You cannot buy your happiness, 
    'Cause happiness is free. 
    Don't you know, or can't you guess, 
    It's there for you and me. 
    And what you do with what you've got, 
    Can change the way you feel. 
    Just do your best and smile a lot, 
    You'll keep an even keel. 
    'Cause happiness is made for YOU, 
    Just take a bite and see 
    That happiness is what you do 
    With something that is free.

My reflection

Listen to Khmer literature and Dhamma talk by His Holiness Jotannano Chuon Nath, Supreme Patriarch of Cambodia Buddhism.

Shantidevas’ Bodhisattva vows

My reflection

Should anyone wish to ridicule me and make me an object of jest and scorn why should I possibly care if I have dedicated myself to others?

Let them do as they wish with me so long as it does not harm them. May no one who encounters me ever have an insignificant contact.

Regardless whether those whom I meet respond towards me with anger or faith, may the mere fact of our meeting contribute to the fulfilment of their wishes.

May the slander, harm and all forms of abuse that anyone should direct towards me act as a cause of their enlightenment.

As a solid rock is not shaken by the wind, so the wise are not shaken by blame and praise. As a deep lake is clear and calm, so the wise become tranquil after they listened to the truth…

Good people walk on regardless of what happens to them. Good people do not babble on about their desires. Whether touched by happiness or by sorrow, the wise never appear elated or depressed. ~The Dhammapada

Hermit of Tbeng Mountain

Sachjang Phnom Tbeng សច្ចំ​​ ភ្នំត្បែង is a very long and interesting story written by Mr. Chhea Sokoan, read by Jendhamuni Sos. You can click on the links below to listen. Part 1 | Part 2

Beauty in nature

A beautiful object has no intrinsic quality that is good for the mind, nor an ugly object any intrinsic power to harm it. Beautiful and ugly are just projections of the mind. The ability to cause happiness or suffering is not a property of the outer object itself. For example, the sight of a particular individual can cause happiness to one person and suffering to another. It is the mind that attributes such qualities to the perceived object. — Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche

Nature is loved by what is best in us. The sky, the mountain, the tree, the animal, give us a delight in and for themselves. — Ralph Waldo Emerson

 

Our journey for peace
begins today and every day.
Each step is a prayer,
Each step is a meditation,
Each step will build a bridge.

—​​​ Maha Ghosananda
